Joyce hid behind a boulder, and she intended to leave her current position.
She moved carefully, inch by inch, creeping up behind another boulder.
These stones were very hard and sharp, and when she put her hands on it, she felt like her hands would be cut at any minute.
She thought about the time, and Franklin might need at least another half hour or so before they could arrive.
It was such a long time actually. She felt like every minute and every second had been infinitely elongated.
"Joyce. You give me what you have, and I'll leave you alive. Just come out! You can't hide for all day!"
Ricky shouted again, he wanted to distract Joyce and lure her out for a quick battle.
He didn't want to delay too long in case the police might have fixed their systems and it would be too late for they to retreat.
"You throw your stuff out and into the open. I'll have my people stand aside and give you time to leave. How is that?" Ricky looked from side to side, repeatedly testing the waters.
As long as there was any movement, he would be able to roughly determine Joyce's location.
"Creak—"
Suddenly, he heard something.
Ricky turned back nervously and immediately raised his gun.
"Don't shoot! Boss, it was me. I stepped on the branch."
A killer spoke up to explain.
"Idiot, don't talk!" Ricky's face paled and he was just about to stop the killer from speaking, but unfortunately it was too late.
After a muffled "Bang", the killer fell to the ground.
His chest was pierced by a bullet, his blood splattered everywhere, and his expression was painfully grim.
Immediately afterwards, he fell heavily to the ground.
She deliberately raised her voice and spoke.
"Ricky, can I really believe you about what you just said? I do have the stuff on me."
"You throw it out. I promise I won’t kill you." Ricky, from the direction of the sound, was now quite sure about Joyce's approximate location.
"Why should I believe you? Ask your men to throw all their guns on the ground and gather up in one place. You can keep your gun so it's fair for both of us. When I confirm it, I will throw the hard drive out."
While Joyce bargained, she quietly moved her position and switched to another large boulder to hide.
"Good. You throw the hard drive out now. We will stand right here and you will have ten minutes to leave. What do you think?" Ricky winked at the rest of the killers, signaling them to take their guns out and drop them on the ground.
Anyway, there were so many of them, and they could always pick up their guns again even though they threw them on the ground now, so what were they afraid of?
The killers all looked at each other.
Although they could not understand what Ricky meant, they did as they were told.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Why has all the names changed from english name to Chinese, It’s difficult to understand who is who...
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
